Question

Assertion: Metal ions must be present in a solution used for electroplating a particular metal.

Reason: Electroplating occurs only on anode.

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
  
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  
• C. Assertion is true but Reason is false
  
• D. Assertion is false but Reason is true
• E. Both Assertion and Reason are false

Answer 1

The correct option is C Assertion is true but Reason is false

In electroplating a particular metal,
$M^{+n}+n{e}^{-}\to M$
so metal ions of the metal with which electroplating is done, must be present in a solution used for electroplating a particular metal.
